Today we are joined by /u/amandycat, who is flaired on
AskHistorians as Early Modern English Death Culture, which has to
be one of the more stark and interesting flairs we have on the
subreddit. She is better known to her friends and family as Amanda
Brunton, a PhD student at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK. Today
we discuss all sorts of interesting and morbid things, like
deaths, funerals, and how people liked to talk shade about the
dead. An hour on the culture and history surrounding death and
death culture in Early Modern England and it's not even
Halloween!
